Chapter 32 Robbing Others
“I'll go.”
Eliana felt aggrieved, but she knew that she had to compromise. It was because she still had not found out the secret behind the Pierce Group’s bankruptcy, and she needed money to raise her kids. She could not afford to lose her job now. She took the sheet and read it with a frown.
A suit, a shirt, a tie, cufflinks… Everything was to be purchased from a different store, and each store was in a different district. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Mr. Jenkins, these… When will Mr. Moran be needing them?” she asked through gritted teeth.
“Six o’clock,” Corbin replied with a smile. Eliana looked up at the clock and saw that it was already half past three in the afternoon. If she stayed there for even a minute longer, she would not be able to come back before six o’clock.
Pushing Corbin out of the way, she grabbed her bag, and rushed out. At half past five, she still had one more item left to get. Holding a pile of bags, she ran into the luxury women’s clothing store, and showed the receipt to the shop assistant. After checking the receipt, the woman looked at her in surprise.
“Is there a problem?” Eliana tried to catch a breath while holding the counter.
The woman replied in a respectful tone, “Mr. Moran said that you need to try on the dress.”
“I should try it on?” Eliana asked in confusion.
“Why?” – She figured that Maurice must have ordered the dress for his date for the party. But that didn’t have anything to do with her. The shop assistant seemed to be in a dilemma.
“We don’t know the details. But you can’t take it with you unless you try it on first…” Eliana was speechless, looking at the clock ticking away in front of her. She thought that perhaps, Maurice’s date was the same size as her.
A moment later, the shop assistant led Eliana to the fitting room. After a few minutes, Eliana pushed open the door and looked at herself in the mirror. It was a pure white off shoulder dress with embroidered corners. The gold thread on the edges of the dress made it look all the more delicate and elegant. Her curves were tightly wrapped in that dress, enhancing her beauty. She casually coiled her long hair, revealing her smooth neck.

Eliana was stunningly gorgeous with full red lips and bright eyes. Her pretty face and perfect figure instantly caught everyone’s eye. And Asher was one of them. He never thought that he would meet Eliana again in a place like that. Looking at her, he felt that she was growing more beautiful each day, and could not take his eyes off her. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp sting in his arm. Erica screamed in jealousy, “Honey! What are you looking at?”
Asher coughed, hiding his amazement. He then said in a serious tone, “That dress seems a lot like it was designed by Aurora. Don’t you like that style?”
“You know me well, honey!” Covering her mouth, Erica smiled. Holding Asher’s arm, she approached Eliana.
“Let’s buy this one.”
Upon hearing the disgusting familiar voice, Eliana turned around with a frown. She cursed her luck for stumbling upon them. At the same time, Erica glared at Eliana fiercely.
“This b***h is so lucky! Five years ago, I tossed her into the sea, but she did not die! When I last saw her at the airport, I thought that I was looking at a ghost!’ Erica was not bothered by the fact that Eliana was still alive, but she became furious when she thought that Eliana must have come there to compete with her for Asher’s love. Erica looked away and pointed at the dress that Eliana was wearing.
“I’ll take this one. Ask her to take it off, and don’t forget to disinfect it,” she said to the shop assistant.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. This is a customized dress, and there is only one such piece,” the shop assistant explained and quickly stood between the two women. Erica was about to lose her temper when she heard that. How could a mere shop assistant refuse her?
Eliana sneered, “Looks like you still like robbing others. And you don’t care whether you steal men or clothes.”
Although she was only stating facts, her words infuriated Erica. Erica pushed the shop assistant away, rushed to Eliana, and roared harshly, “Eliana! Don’t confuse right and wrong! You slept with a gigolo and cheated on Asher first.”
Eliana was so angry that she could not help bursting into laughter. She glared at the woman in front of her and hissed, “Have you forgotten that you admitted that it was all your plot right before you threw me into the sea?” Her gaze sent a chill down Erica’s spine. She grabbed Asher’s hand in fear, and was about to ask him for help. But he looked at her suspiciously and asked, “What Eliana said… Is it true?”
How could Asher suspect her now? Anger and jealousy engulfed Erica’s heart.
